Does biofreeze can reduce inflammation? or it just pain Relieving when you use it, and when you stop using it the pain is back?

The active ingredient is menthol, so I'm doubtful that it reduces inflammation substantially. The cooling effect of the menthol might have some effect, but really, this is topical and temporary pain relief.

I don't believe it reduces bone or muscle inflammation, but is a surface pain reliever. At least that is how I successfully use it. You should ask a doctor about its inflammation reducing, if any, capabilities.

This has helped my mother to where her pain is gone but every once in a while it returns...Myself, it helps at the time but, my pain always comes back..

Yes it does help with inflammation a little. It does help with pain, it hurts when to walk.

Not sure about inflammation as I don't have that problem. Pain relief usually last for about 6 hours. Occasionally I do have to reapply after several hours. Pain comes back when I aggravate the area.

BioFreeze is a very soothing gel which I have been using for about 15 years...primarily for neuropathy which I have in my legs. Works great for me and hope it will do the same for you.

I think yes. I hardly used it, it's in the freezer. ;-)) FYI, FWIW: I fixed my 85 year old "severely arthritic" left shoulder with weight machines that built muscle around the joint. It still hurts occasionally but is very manageable. A far better solution than surgery or shots.

This is what I found in looking for the answer to your question. Biofreeze uses an herb called Ilex. This herb is extracted from a holly plant in South America and then shipped to Pennsylvania to be made into Biofreeze. Ilex acts as an instant cold application and also helps the gel sink deeper through the skin's layers.http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4679702_biofreeze-work.html

I don't think there is a need to do that. However,my bathroom is very cold this winter, so its always chilled. Couldn't hurt tho. And cold does reduce inflammation, so maybe a good idea.

Biofreeze is a green gel. The gel turns to liquid as you apply it to your body. It should NOT be a liquid as it comes from the tube.

The relief of pain with biofreeze is awesome. I have herniated disks in my back and I can hardlystand the pain if it weren't for biofreeze. I put it on today before going to the movie

It starts very cold from the freezer, and at 30 minutes it is still cold. My Physical Trainer says not to keep it on any longer than that, or it could cause an ice burn to your skin. You should wait at least two hours before using it again on the same area. It is not filled with gel, but I believe water, which when frozen lasts longer, and is colder.

No this machine doesn't do that. It's just used to reduce inflammation and speed healing.

Noticed no difference with or without...........simply that Biofreeze does the job where as no other cream on the market seems to work as well.............

To my knowledge All Biofreeze has ilex, extracted from the holly bush, to cut down on the greasy feel.

not sure, but I ordered the roll on I use the biofreeze in my massage practice, it's the best topical cream or gel on the market. I also use the gel, however, I like the roll on, it's not so messy, as long as the product say's it's got Ilex in it, your good to go. God Bless

Yes, that works perfect. I used super cold water as the tca was stinging my skin and it felt good to cool it.

it has a nice cooling affect that lasts about 20min. It works on all kinds of pain. I purchased for myself for neck pain and for Migraine (don't get to close to the eye and is a little messy in the hair line) but it helps a lot. I also purchased for my Mom-in-law for her arthritis in her hands and knees and she said it helped a lot.
